Country Fabrics and Quilting

Fully Stocked

Country Fabrics and Quilting in Brainerd, Minnesota boasts more than 850 shop samples. Owner Deb Burton and her daughter, Steffani, make three new quilts a week to update their ever-rotating display. Always trying to keep the store fresh, Deb quickly puts fabric that isn't selling well on the sale rack to make room for a new product.

New Generation

Past meets present in this store, which first was owned by Deb Burton's mother Deb uses her mother's antique furniture in displays, while Deb's daughter, Steffani, crafts modern home decor for inspiration.

Machine-Quilting Designs

Machine-quilter Kelli Hartwig used variegated thread to quilt Over and Under with free-motion loops, scallops, swirls, and petal motifs in the blocks and borders. Although the blocks look randomly placed, they're actually part of a larger pattern centered on a red-and-lavender theme.

Over and Under Color Option

Over and Under gets a North Woods vibe when made in batiks and woodsy prints. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke selected a bold rust print for the rectangles to achieve the woven effect in her 18-block throw. Her fabrics are from the Birch Bark Lodge collection by Holly Taylor for Moda Fabrics.
